Chapter 17 – New Orders

“You’re awake,” Hannah said, watching Brendan sit up in bed. She was standing by the window.

“What time is it?”

“Almost eight,” Hannah said, walking back to the bed. She slipped under the covers. “Still a little cold.”

“I can take care of that,” Brendan said, moving against her.

“Not here,” she whispered. “I’ll get too loud.”

“Ah shucks,” Brendan said. “Don’t worry. I’ll behave.”

“You’d better,” she said, snuggling tighter against him.

“You aren’t making it easy,” Brendan said.

“What’s up today?”

“I have no idea,” he said. “Richardson will probably hear something from Jefferson.”

“Think they’re still gonna send us to Houston?”

“I don’t know,” Brendan said. “This boat is messed up now. Took a shot into one of the outboards. I heard the other boats got blown up when Galveston was attacked.”

“Yes, I remember,” she said. “I’m not anxious for you to go back on duty.”

“Neither am I,” he said. “Listen. Is that Madison?”

“Oh, crap.” Hannah giggled.

“That’s kind of turning me on.”

“Forget it,” she said as his hands started to roam over her.

“I can be quiet,” he whispered.

“It’s not you I’m worried about,” she said, getting out of bed. “Time to get up.”

“You’re no fun,” Brendan said, faking disappointment.

“We got to play in the waiting room back in San Antonio, remember,” Hannah said as she got dressed. “They didn’t.”

“It’s okay, sweetie,” he said, getting out of bed. “Maybe Richardson’s up. I want to know what’s going on.”

“You don’t think we’re just going to camp out here?”

“No,” Brendan said. “I’d be surprised if we do that.”

“Let’s go downstairs, then,” Hannah said. She opened the door, and the two of them left. Richardson and Lita were sitting in the living room.

“Look who’s finally up,” Lita said. Richardson nodded to them.

“Good morning,” Hannah said.

“Where’s Madison and Juan Carlos?” Lita asked.

“I’m sure they’ll be along in a few minutes,” Hannah said. Brendan snickered, and Hannah kicked his foot.

“I got a text from Jefferson,” Richardson said. “We’ve got a conference call coming up with him and some other folks. Should be starting in about half an hour. We’d better warn Juan Carlos.”

“Want me to go tap on their door?” Hannah asked.

“That would be good,” Richardson said. “I think Director Wallis will be in the meeting.”

Hannah got up.

“Want me to go with?” Brendan asked.

“No, you stay here,” she said as she hurried towards the steps.

Lita snickered. “Oh, I get it.”

“What?” Richardson asked.

“Never mind,” Lita said. “You sleep okay, Brendan?”

“Perfect,” he said. “You two?”

“The tossing and turning didn’t help me,” Lita said.

“Sorry, honey,” Richardson said.

“You worried, boss?”

“Of course I’m worried,” Richardson said. “We didn’t have any humans watching the place.”

“We had the next best thing,” Roberto said, walking into the room. “Coffee?”

“That sounds excellent,” Lita said, getting up.

Hannah bounded down the stairs. “They’ll be down in a minute.”

Brendan shot her a grin. She shook her head. “They were almost dressed when I got there.”

“Good,” Lita said. “There’s coffee. We were just going to the kitchen.”

“Hey, guys,” Juan Carlos said as he came down. Madison followed, her face flushed.

“What’s up today?” she asked.
